Occupational Health Tests – Laredo, TX

Workplace occupational health plans are crucial for employers to remain compliant with occupational safety and health laws and to ensure safety and health in the workplace for their employees. Employees are entitled to a safe and healthy workplace with no recognizable hazards, and it's the employer's responsibility to ensure their safety while on the job. Employers must remove recognizable hazards when possible and provide the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and safe, working machinery and equipment. In Laredo, occupational health services include biometric screenings, vision and hearing screening, vaccinations, titer testing (antibody testing), respirator fit testing, respiratory health exams, physical examinations, and proper training and education.

Texas does not have its own occupational safety and health plan, and private-sector employers in Laredo are covered by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA enforces the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act), which was established to ensure a safe and healthy working environment for all employees by reducing injuries, illnesses, and fatalities in the workplace.
